    Heroically Challenged: Last-Chosen Ones, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 686min
    To be an adventurer. One of the elite class of brave souls who travel Eldaria and fight the blight of monsters wherever they are found.Picture rippling muscles, clad in magical armor, perhaps, artfully splattered with the viscera of foes smote in twain. Or...ooh...alternatively, a severely tasteful robe, dusted - equally artfully - with the ashes of enemies immolated with eldritch fyre. Now picture these paragons of heroism sitting astride their muscled warhorses, surrounded by the cheering, garland-throwing peasants of a hamlet they have saved from the blight. Now, throw that image out, because this isn’t that story.Instead, picture a group of adventurers who are not skilled, have slain nothing, don’t own any armor worth burnishing and would probably misspell "eldritch" if given a chance. While the saying holds true that "everybody has to start at zero", it might also be posited that this misfit band of eager wannabes are starting somewhere in the negative.Bards are not going to be composing any epic ballads about their exploits anytime soon, unless it's in the form of a cautionary tale. But despite all these setbacks, they are destined to save the world, right? No. But they might, anyway. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mikael Naramore.

    History of London , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 43min
    One of the oldest cities with a historical span of about two millennia, London is Britain's largest metropolis and also the capital of United Kingdom. Situated towards the south-east of England, astride River Thames, London is one of the most picturesque cities in the world. River Thames splits London into two creating northern and southern halves. The city is lowland as it was built on the floodplain of Thames. London is home to most of England's population. There are many streams and rivers that course into the Thames. River Thames was earlier used for transporting timber and coal. The City of London is the primeval core of London. There are four major zones that make London. Every zone has a different look and is branded by a specific architectural panache - East London, Southeast London, West London and Southwest London. London has now grown to become one of the most important cultural and financial capitals of the world. Face of London is stained with terrorist attacks, plagues, riots, civil war, fire and aerial bombings in the past. Different times have added to the foundation pillars of London. There is a string of tales to tell about the historical past of London. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andrea Giordani.

    Tales of the Old West, Songs & Stories: Land Rushes, Legends & Lyrics of the American Frontier , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 160min
    The American cowboy came to the West to begin again after a bloody civil war had ended. He worked long hours in lonely cow camps and his pay was meager, but he had grit and determination. He faced constant danger; he fought Indians and rustlers and braved swollen rivers and stampedes. And, finally, when the days of the open range were over, he rode off into the sunset. But his legacy lives on. He had created a new West, a West that would endure forever in books, songs, movies, and television. In your mind's eye, you can still see him astride his horse, silhouetted on a hill, looking resolute, wild and free. There were others, though, who wanted to claim a homestead and live forever in the West. On September 16, 1893, they had their chance. One hundred and fifty thousand men and women waited at the edges of a vasttract of government land they called the Cherokee Strip, waiting for a signal that would open 40,000 homesteads for settlement. They had come from every state and abroad. Among them were doctors and lawyers, housewives, farmers, cowboys, and drifters. But for every person who would claim a homestead, two would be disappointed. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Donnie Blanz, Joe Loesch.

    The Secret Coalition: Ike, LBJ, and the Search for a Middle Way in the 1950s , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 445min
    The politics of the 1950s revolved around two primary leaders, one Republican and one Democratboth moderate, and both willing to compromise to move the nation forward. The Republican leader was President Dwight Eisenhower. His two administrations changed American politics. Ike’s desire to be president of all the people, to run his administration down the middle of the road, to be a "modern" Republican, set the stage for what the Republican Party would be for decades to come. His politics of moderation triggered a backlash from the party’s right wing that eventually grew into a conservative surge that reached fruition in the following decades. Standing astride the opposition was the Democratic leader in the Senate, Lyndon Johnson. At age 44, Johnson was the youngest leader in Senate history. His willingness to join forces with Eisenhower in the president’s battles against isolationism and reaction in his own party, along with the willingness of both men to compromise rather than engage in a politics of search and destroy, turned the 1950s into an era of political moderation. In The Secret Coalition, Gary A. Donaldson insightfully explores a period in U.S. history that many Americans regard as an "Era of Good Feeling" when the two parties got along, and the nation achieved some sort of equilibrium and cooperation. ungekürzt.
